I walked 20 miles in 7 hours so it's very do-able.

I walked ten miles home from a hospital last month. It sucked, big time. Sounds like the punishment fit the crime. I hope the cabbie didn't have to pay the fare to the cab company though. That sometimes happens. It also happens to waiters who get dine and dash customers.
For you maybe. We don't even know what this woman's health is like and neither does the judge.
If there was a health issue that needed to be considered, you can rest assured that the judge would have been notified and the sentence would not have been given that way.
I hope she also had to make restitution to the cabbie!
She did and to me that makes the punishment a little harsh..
Walk 30 miles
AND
Pay $100 to the cabbie
AND
4 mos probation
That's a little steep for skipping on a cab fare IMO.
Im all for making her walk. Don't get me wrong. To me if you are going to make her pay restitution then leave off the probation or if you are going to make her pay then dont make her walk but still give her the probation.

Anyway.....I'll wait while folks flame away.
Not going to flame, just going to disagree.
I think the punishment is not at all harsh. Maybe next time she thinks about skipping out on something she owes, she'll think back to this.
